Evening people, after having seen a conversation started in a different thread, lwells posted a pic with a timing belt sticker on it that indicates it has been replaced..

the one posted below is from my car, could someone please confirm/translate what this sticker says/means.

Is it a sticker saying it must be replaced - or that it has been replaced.. it looks slightly different to the one lwells posted..

Appreciate it..

Thanks,

I've got the same one on my R33 GTS-T, and so does another owner I know. I'm leaning towards thinking they are a sticker simply reminding you to get it replaced at 100,000kms, as there's no dealer / shop stamp or imprint on there to indicate it's been done.

I don't think so man, when its been changed, its either etched in, or a sticker is placed near by, indicating that it has indeed been changed. Looks like a sticker saying that it has to be changed at 100,000km

Excellant.. cheers guys - just wanted to make sure - the one lwells posted appeared to have something written on it with pen/etched and a number more lines.. Would make sense that this is justa warning to remember that it needs to be replaced..

PHHHHEEEWWWW... cheers..

Why do you sound so happy that it hasn't been changed?

When i first bought my car 4yrs ago, it had 69,000K on the clock. The first service i did, which was very soon after, i changed the belt and completed all other majors.

I just did the timing belt on my car a few days ago. It had the same sticker, but I checked the belt as I wasnt sure what the stick exactly ment.

I dare say that even if it was changed that not all people will write on the sticker to say it has, but thats no reason not to spend 20minutes and check it out for yourself

Why do I sound happy - well because going on normal belt changes being 80k - 100k I was worried that my clock had been wound back, I now have pretty good belief that it hasn't been..

I'll get the belt inspected when I get the car fully serviced otherwise it will be changed in an 80,000 - 90,000kms service.. car is going perfectly well, is in great mechanical condition and doesn't currently need it.

I think the k's were appropriate for the year of the car more so than 80% of cars I see for sale out there - also the interior and standard of everything appears to match them..

just wanted to know what the sticker should look like..

after reading HPI last night - the bonus copy from last year that i got with this months they had a small description of the sticker hahahaha <- random chances..

the sticker will have the Odometer reading on it as well as the year that it was changed.

i'll post up a picture..

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
